Simon Cowell's Toddler Son Is Exactly Like Him (VIDEO)

The often snide Simon Cowell is actually a big softie when it comes to his 20-month-old son Eric Philip. It's fascinating to see him as a dad and quite adorable to witness his son acting just like him ... and I'm not just talking about the good qualities. This makes Simon very proud.

It needs to be noted that Simon is being interviewed by his ex-girlfriend Terri Seymour in this clip from Extra. But whatever! It's Hollywood. NBD.

The toddler is a bit of a tease -- he pretended to give Terri a carrot but then didn't. And Simon said that his little guy likes to repeat things over and over and over when he wants something. Like father, like son. He even looks like a mini Simon. I need to see him in a tight white or black fitted V-neck T-shirt.

I love seeing Simon as a dad -- he isn't exactly the traditional nurturing type; at least that isn't what we would see all the time on American Idol or X Factor or America's Got Talent. But he has nurtured many careers -- and we have him to thank for One Direction. If we look past the smug smile, he is a softie at heart. He has shown that for some contestants on his talent shows, and he most definitely is showing it here for his son. Amazing what parenthood does to you.
